How do you put the blade brush back in? It is not even mentioned in the manual.

If you are referring to the black plastic band looking thing, I had the same problem. I had to partially glue it in place the first time. Everytime I use it and clean it, that part comes off, but I make sure not to remove the residual glue since it makes it more tactile for when I put back together again.

It is very tricky...but just set it on the edge with the little connections on back in place. You may have to check it at times. Once it is in place, you can then replace the blade. Also, make sure the one end of the brush is at the end (left end)...this will help align it in place better.

I'm not sure what is the blade brush you're talking about. Can you send a picture?

All you need to do is unscrew the handle. It's what holds the top together, then change out the blade. It took me a while to figure it out. The whole thing is really simple.

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.

Hi! I finally got the blade off my can opener! There is a little lever that says "blade release" that needed to be pushed down, but, I kept moving the handle either too much or not enough while I pulled on it, but, finally, it popped off. Now if I can only remember how I did it for thenext time!! :) Thank you all.

Jim,I don't know? On mine I have never had a problem. It came with 4 of 5 different blades and they all slide right in. Let me know what specifically you are having trouble with and I will check it out.Mark

Don- I bought the same slicer and you need to remove the blade to properly clean. Remove the lock nut for the center plate and remove, remove the sharpener, remove the 3 screws that hold the blade and the blade will come out. That make cleaning much easier. My cleaning ti,mes have gone from 30 minutes down to about 10. Use a anti bacterial whip after all the debris has been removed. do a final wipe down with a clean towel and dry when you are complete and re-assemble

i put a little wd40 or some spray lube under the silver clip. the clip is the only thing that holds the blades in tight. if you hold the blade by wrapping a cloth around it, then you can tap the handle against something solid to lock it in place.

I have the same problem. The old brush stays on, the new one doesn't even click into place and detaches immediately. I try to hold it in place but it is a real hassle. The old one worked fine. Not sure what or why changes were made.

The comb hooks on the top of the blades and then you have to push on the bottom so that the tab snaps on to keep the comb on. When you're done, just pull the tab forward to release it and remove the comb.

It is CERTAINLY not intuitive. Works well, though, so maybe it isn't a design flaw. Anyway, grasp the very end of it and twist COUNTER-clockwise (i.e., to the left). The end will "break" and slip off. I usually shave twice - the first time w/o power assist; the second time, with. Good luck to you.

There is a button that you press, right next to the grip. You can see it on the picture. It's the black diagonal thing on the picture. (It's actually 2 buttons, the lower one. Not sure what the top one does) It's very easy to work with your thumb, even for me and I'm left handed. I holds about five spare blades, so you're never without a fresh one.

Hi! Yes I found that out too when I got it!! Just pull one of the blades out toward u like the round end of the blade. Do it slowly.

I recently switched from Gillette products and had the same question. I called Schick's customer service and didn't get much help. Finally figured it out. Look at the back of the razor; identify the elliptically shaped white button on the back of the head. Push it down AND forward and the old blade head will fall off. Now look at the little prongs or claws on the blade end of the handle: one, in the center, guides it into correct position. Flanking it are 2 that are "L"-shaped that appear and disappear as you push and release that button. They secure the blade combo to its handle. Practice grabbing and releasing your old blade combo a few times. Hope this helps. I recently switched from Gillette products and had the same question.

To clean you pop off the shaver head then you pry off each of the 4 blades that make up the cornors and then twist off the blade int he center. I was each of the blades and then let air dry and reinstall. Not a real big deal but not as easy as cleaning a Norolco. However the extra work in cleaning is, in my opnion, worth it for the great job it does on my head.

Using a flat edge screw driver, I pushed on the plastic tabs at each end of the brush. I removed the old one and slipped in the new one. I used the screw driver because I did not have enough strength in my finger to push the tab over.

You have to take out the screw and pull it apart. You will also find your blades once you take it apart.
